On (Not) Waiting for Godot
This article traces the reinvention and circulation of existential thought and action through the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the first half of the 1960s, especially in Mississippi. Here, Fannie Lou Hamer, Bob Moses, and the founders of the Free Southern Theater, among others, immersed themselves in the existential questions of freedom and responsibility, pointing the way toward ethical action at a time when there was, as the cha…
Existentialisms
Two Black men hang out on the street corner. They trade jokes, tell stories, pass the time. From time to time they are interrupted: by floodlights that freeze them in their tracks, by a strange white man seemingly plucked from another time, and finally, by a menacing racist cop. In playwright Antoinette Nwandu’s hands, this Beckettian tale shows us, perhaps, that the racial absurd (Vogel 2022) is not solely an applied or adapted European phenomen…
Stolen Time
The calypso craze of the 1950s is so associated with a single megastar—Harry Belafonte—that it is not surprising that Shane Vogel's virtuosic Stolen Time opens with Belafonte's disavowal of a fad that was forever attempting to place him at its center. Vogel's book likewise stages a disappearing act for Belafonte, though his presence remains keenly felt. In doing so, Vogel allows lesser-known though no less significant performers to occupy center …
Next Up Downtown
The work of seven up-and-coming performance companies—Hotel Savant, Temporary Distortion, New Paradise Laboratories, Knife, Inc., Ex.Pgirl, Witness Relocation, and Banana Bag & Bodice—explores intermediality transnationalism, and political affect. All emphasize the continued dominance of networked, spatialized storytelling
Highway 61 Revisited
Tracing the inverted traveling cultural roots of the Great Migration back toward the “source” of Delta blues music, blues tourists take a sonic journey from North to South in the U.S. that remembers black diasporic and migrational patterns of blues traveling—distinguishing between the economic, social, and political circumstances that often radically differentiate two modes of being “on the road.”
